Love the app!
Love love love!!! I have the physical and app version so I can have His Word wherever I go. Might I suggest a note taking feature?
Audible
This orthodox bible app is almost perfect you need to install an audio function. I found another Orthodox Bible app and it has audio except the way they formatted it is annoying every time a new verse. It said it says for example, “ verse one in the beginning God created… verse two the Earth was invisible and unfinished…” that’s annoying. I couldn’t even listen to a whole minute of that. It should only do that per chapter anyways other than that, this is a pretty good app.

Amazing but one issue
This app is amazing as a Orthodox convert I use it all the time and I love it, although I wish they would add back to the app the option for light or dark most and now just following the system setting. But besides that this app is absolutely amazing!
the app is great
the app is great, idk if this idea will be seen but i noticed the reading the Bible study plan in a year feature (where you can read 1-2 years chronologically or mixed. it would be really cool if that feature can be in notification form like there would be daily notifications for which Bible reading we should do based on the plan. Just a suggestion would be cool if this review would be seen and the thought can be considered as a way to improve user experience.

Midday Prayers?
I absolutely love this app, but I am curious if it is possible that the app can be updated to support a midday prayer as well? That way it encompasses morning, midday, and evening.
Great App
This app is a great tool when you do not have an OSB right in front of you. The only thing that could make this better is the ability to have an audio reading of both the scripture and the commentary.
Dark mode only?
Unusable to me due to only allowing dark mode on the screen. Shame.
THE BEST APP EVER!!!!
Guys, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making this app!! Seriously it is such a blessing to have such a beautiful well put together a Orthodox app that we can use to study the Bible!
I love the fact that it has actually the full Orthodox Bible, including all of the old testament books, and the fact that it has all of the expansion articles on certain themes, and all of the study notes.
I also really love the highlights portion and how well it’s been approved overtime.
I also really love on top of that the reading plans with both one year to year mixed and chronological.
The daily readings are absolutely phenomenal and one of my favorite parts. Just amazing way to start the day.
I also love the organization of each section of the Bible and have that part is organized. I love organization in general, and this is just music to my ears. I love, especially how all of Paul’s epistles our grouped together.
And the Torah, history, wisdom, major and minor prophets, all of that stuff. I really love the organization.
If you guys are reading this, here’s a couple of things that would be really great to see in future updates
1. Would be great to add the introduction at the beginning of every book the same way, the original Orthodox study Bible has. I personally really loved reading the overview and getting a better idea for what I’m about to start reading at the beginning of every book.
2. It would be nice if you can add different colors for the highlight and a yellow color that is a little bit softer. The current yellow color is a little bit harsh and it would be nice if there were more colors just so that you can identify different things when you highlight them.
3. It would be nice to add toggle bookmark on and off instead of current process. (I appreciate all of the last few updates that you guys have done with the highlights. It’s become a lot better.)
4. This is a big one, but if you can eventually add a voice reader, that would be incredible.
5. This is another big one, but would be really great if there were also the Saints of the day in addition to readings for the day both maybe old and new calendar. (I know it’s hard because it varies based on church in terms of which saints they celebrate but maybe a general one would be great). Or maybe if you guys can just make a separate app for that as well that would be amazing.
I just really appreciate how clean simple and modern this app is. We definitely need more of that with more orthodox apps.
And I’m recommending this app to everyone! The $10 bucks is totally worth it and you guys again just did a wonderful job.
Seriously Glory to God! And thank you for all your incredible and dedicated hard work!

My favorite Bible on iPad.
The problems I had were resolved with the latest update. Thanks.
New update made reading it worse.
The new update has made reading worse. Holding the iPad vertical, like a book, a third of the screen is now taken up by an obnoxiously large menu bar that can’t be minimized. I wish I never downloaded the update.
Amazing App!
I have been using this for about 3 years now and I must say it’s quite a great app. Yes it costs money but I believe it was worth every penny and they are still updating it.
No old calendar for today’s readings?
Need an option for Todays Readings under the old calendar
Thank you for making this app.
The only OSB app on Appstore. It has all the commentaries which are placed in an organised way and can be accessed easily unlike other online versions where you have to move to other pages to find the commentaries of a particular chapter you’re reading.
Thanks for creating this app. It’s very helpful.

A wonderful study Bible and a great app
I have this downloaded on my iPad and my smart phone. It is high quality. No matter where I am either traveling or sitting on my sofa it is at my fingertips. I love to begin my day with the Morning Prayer and close my day with the Evening Prayer. It covers everything. This is a beautiful Bible and it is comforting no matter where I am the Bible is close to me.

Thankyou
I read the daily passages and often use the information icon on the top right to see what the Holy Fathers have to say about certain passages.
Today is leap year and I noticed that the information icon for todays passage in 1 John 1 crashes the app. I hope you still read reviews and are able to fix this. God Bless you and your work.

Response from developer
I eventually get around to reading reviews. 🙂 Could you try the latest update and see if 1 John 1 is still crashing the app for you? If it is, please email me directly, "support@vdub.software".
Where your treasure is, your heart will be there too.
The Orthodox Study Bible is a treasure. This mobile app is great too. It’s very easy to read a chapter and the footnotes. It has the morning and evening prayers, which help with prayer when away from home. It has the topical articles. And, I appreciate the daily readings feature. This app is helping me to repent, and for that I will be forever grateful.

Amazing app
This app is the best of it’s kind. I hope there will be an Android version!
Book marking and highlighting in the footnotes
It would be very helpful if we could highlight and bookmark the footnoted. Thanks for this awesome resource!
Perfect! Everything I was hoping for in a Bible app, and EASY to use!!!
This app is how a Biblical study tool should be. It’s packed with passages for every holy day, lots of useful articles, a daily reading that covers the entire Bible in one or two years, and most importantly this app is very easy to use. You can cut & paste verses, and save highlights to iCloud. And finding any verse in the Old or New Testament only takes a few seconds. This app is indeed the perfect companion to The Orthodox Study Bible (hardcover copy.) I don’t write reviews often, but this OSB app was was well worth the $10 price, and makes the project I’m working on incredibly fast and easy to research.

Great
This is an amazing resource for all Christians but especially for Orthodoxy. It is comprehensive and easy to navigate. A direct port of the hard and soft back editions.
Also the language is one of my favorite English translations. It’s beautiful without being clunky as the KJV can be. Plus. It has all the books it’s supposed to. Thank you. Great app
